Anyone make an off the shelf product that does the same job as heat sox?

Also, did anyone else replace the tunnel plate while under there?

wasnt sure how much of an angle they take when mounted..
so I went with the headers upright and perfectly vert. where they bolt up..
and then a few shots of them with the mounting tabs horizontal to eachother.

"Back in a FLASH" huh? No pun intended?

If you could get a shot dead on from the backside, that would clinch it... Like RIP's comparison shots of his and Stockers?

Yeah sorry about that, I added it later..

I think you're OK. On most of em your bung looks angled correctly... BUT that last post you just made, it looks like mine doesn't it?

Maybe not, it looks angled towards the end of the collector more... cripes this is harder then I thought!

I wrote SS yesterday and sent them some pics of my setup compared to Stocker waiting on a comment back. I was looking at the pics again last night an to me it looks like my PS bung is welded in the middle of the 9:00 to 10:00 positon and mine is welded in the into the 10:00 position. Look how much closer his bung is to the bracket than mine is.

His:

RIP, your PS header is identical to my old style PS header, you have the wrong PS header, no doubt Ill get the intermediate pipe length asap but I have the clamps on so it will be an approximate. Plus I actually have a bit of a gap between the cat and the end of the collector.

When I get home, I will take some pics of the o2 bung angle of my OLD sytle headers w/ the tabs parallel to the ground to end any discussion if you have the old or new style header. The PS was more problematic but both of my o2s hit the TT/BH

Well? Now what?

They are VERY emphatic that there is and was no left over stock of the older Headers. I mean emphatic to the point of being pissed! If that's so, then their production isn't the best or they have an inhouse comm problem...

I got the first set and it was off, then RIP and Stocker right? Then Rain got his, Rain's look good from what I can tell. then Stocker got his second set and it's good... So the first three shipped were bad and the last two good?

Has anyone else out there recieved these and installed em???
